Seong-Jin Cho to perform in place of Martha Argerich

We regret to announce that Martha Argerich has had to cancel her appearance at Lucerne Festival on 28 August due to acute exhaustion. She was scheduled to perform with the Orchestra dell’Accademia Nazionale di Santa Cecilia under the baton of Daniel Harding. While we very much regret the circumstances, we are pleased to announce that Seong-Jin Cho has graciously agreed to step in and will perform Beethoven’s First Piano Concerto in her place. The program for the concert with the Orchestra dell’Accademia Nazionale di Santa Cecilia under the direction of Daniel Harding will therefore remain unchanged.

Seong-Jin Cho is already scheduled to perform at Lucerne Festival on 26 August, when he will appear as the soloist in Beethoven’s Third Piano Concerto with the Lucerne Festival Orchestra under the baton of Yannick Nézet-Séguin. We look forward to hearing these two piano concertos of Beethoven with him.

Tickets remain valid.
